Dear Readers,

Welcome to the first issue of Glance: A Publication for the CCA Community. Our main feature profiles six notable alumni. With nearly one hundred years of graduating classes, it was extremely difficult to choose from the thousands of CCA alums around the world. In the end we selected representatives from a variety of disciplines who are at different stages of their careers—from recent graduates to seasoned professionals. We plan to make these profiles a regular feature of Glance.

We also have lots of news to share. The “In the News” section gives brief updates on new scholarships and other generous gifts to the college, and introduces some new faculty.

As many of you know, in August we began calling the college by a new name: California College of the Arts. Understandably, this has caused some concern that the college might be abandoning its Arts and Crafts movement heritage. We asked Professor Barry Katz to give us a historical and cultural perspective on the term “arts and crafts.”

He writes about the movement’s impassioned beginnings and why its message of unity in the arts may be even more relevant today.

Our next issue of Glance will be mailed in spring 2004. Meanwhile, we welcome your comments and suggestions. Please email us at glance@cca.edu or write to CCA Communications Department, 1111 Eighth Street, San Francisco, CA 94107.

Sadly, this year we lost many good friends of the college: Robert Bolman, Carl Jennings, Wolfgang Lederer, Walter Menrath, Gertrude Schaufel, and Dean Snyder, among them. This issue of Glance includes tributes to these important members of the CCA community.

Sincerely, Chris Bliss Vice President for Communications

California College of the Arts: An Idea Whose Time Has Come It is just over a hundred years since William Morris closed his eyes for the last time on a world that seemed to have spun dreadfully out of control. The new regime of industrial mass production had established itself; cheap, factory-made products were flooding the markets; and a tradition of craftsmanship was being obliterated before his eyes. “Think of it!” he thundered. “Is it all to end in a counting-house on the top of a cinder-heap?”

In 1861, in the first convincing attempt to assert the dignity of the “lesser arts” against the increasingly esoteric fine arts on the one hand, and the tyranny of the machine on the other, Morris and his friends founded the firm of Morris, Marshall, and Faulkner, Fine Arts Workmen—an event that the historian Nikolaus Pevsner rightly called “the beginning of a new era in Western Art.” Over the centuries, the status of the crafts had declined in proportion to the elevation of the “beaux arts.” The crafts were now threatened with outright extinction by the advent of the factory system. Through the smallscale production of furniture pieces, glass- and metalwares, decorative fabrics, and wallpaper designs Morris and his fellow reformers sought nothing less than to restore the lost unity of the arts.

But there was a social dimension to their campaign on behalf of craft and the craftsman. By fragmenting the manufacture of products, the industrial division of labor also fragmented the humanity of the producer. Shoddy work and demoralized, exploited workers were merely two sides of the same coin, for beauty, Morris always insisted, is nothing else but “the expression by man of his pleasure in labor.”

It was this commitment both to art and to the artisan that defined what the English bookbinder T. J. Cobden-Sanderson would soon christen the “Arts-and-Crafts Movement.”

2

Even in the 1880s and 1890s, however, this position was becoming increasingly untenable. The system of industrial mass production, whatever its human and aesthetic costs, had proven itself terrifyingly efficient at filling the homes of even the laboring classes with an assortment of cheap goods that would have been unimaginable in any previous epoch. By contrast, the Century Guild, founded in 1882 by A. H. Mackmurdo; the Art Workers’ Guild, founded in 1884 by W. R. Lethaby; Walter Crane’s Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society (1888); and even the American outpost that would become known as California College of Arts and Crafts (1907) projected a craft ideal that seemed to repudiate the industrial system at the moment of its near-global triumph. As wealthy collectors vied for the honest, sturdy, and outrageously expensive products of these “utopian craftsmen,” Arts and Crafts steadily devolved from an ethical ideal into a period style.

By 1915 C. R. Ashbee conceded in the privacy of his journal that “We have taken a great social movement and turned it into a tiresome little aristocracy working with high skills for the very rich.”

This judgment is too harsh, however—in part because these tiny communities of cabinetmakers, weavers, metalsmiths, bookbinders, and decorators were hardly in a position to reverse the inexorable tide of history and technology, in part because they actually succeeded beyond their wildest imaginings.

3

At the heart of the belief system William Morris imparted to his brethren was a simple but revolutionary program: • the unity of the fine and the applied arts and their mutual dependency; • an insistence upon simplicity of form, propriety of ornament, and honesty of materials; • the unshakable belief that art-making is a social act and carries with it an ethical obligation.

It is at least arguable that this set of principles framed all of the great twentieth-century debates, from futurism and constructivism to the socially engaged art of the 1960s and ’70s; from the Bauhaus to postmodernism; from Jan Tschichold’s call for “a new typography” in 1928 to the launching of Emigré in 1984. Modern architecture was founded upon these ideas. They are the basis of modern design.

Had William Morris been more measured in his judgments, more temperate in his exhortations on art under plutocracy, less dogmatic in his oftexpressed “hatred of modern civilization,” he would not have been William Morris, and we might not be

4

discussing these issues today. But the fact remains that his nightmarish view of modern technology blinded him to its potential to liberate and not just subjugate the arts.

In the age of Photoshop, Form-Z, and streaming video, our challenge is neither to celebrate nor repudiate the craft tradition but to redefine it.

We will always admire the elegance of a mortiseand-tenon joint or a perfectly executed flat fell seam, but how about a few hundred lines of lean, flawless code? Or the seamless integration of text and graphics in one of those rare websites through which it is a pleasure to navigate? Should we look for craftsmanship only in the finished product, or must we learn to appreciate the model, the program, or even the theory?

William Morris would not have known what to do with these questions, and thus the Arts and Crafts movement has plainly lost its edge. But the force of its underlying demand is stronger than ever: the unity of art and life.

Barry Katz is a professor in the Humanities and Sciences, Industrial Design, and Visual Criticism Programs at California College of the Arts.

Craftsmanship and an understanding of cultural context have always been key to the education offered at California College of the Arts. These are values we have embraced in the past and will continue to embody. In today’s world, craft is art; the artificial boundaries between art, design, and craft that were so important to the nineteenth-century academies no longer exist. Our commitment to the unity of the arts, our curriculum’s reinforcement of craftsmanship, and our continued support of community-based arts programming are substantial evidence that the college will continue to embrace the ideals of the Arts and Crafts movement. In the past one hundred years, the understanding of the words

“arts and crafts” has clearly changed. Moreover, contemporary craft is now firmly part of the most progressive work in art, design, and architecture.

And the visual, performing, and literary arts are now intersecting in the most productive and powerful ways. By placing our students and faculty at the heart of these intersections, we will continue to provide them with the very best of what an education in the arts, and an education through the arts, can offer.

“Art Chooses You, You Don’t Choose Art”: Alumni Talk About CCA and Their Careers in Art and Design

By Melissa Hutcheson with Erica Olsen

Alumni Relations Manager Melissa Hutcheson spoke recently with six alums who attended undergraduate or graduate programs at California College of the Arts during the past thirty-five years. They are a video maker, an interior designer, a painter, an industrial designer, a children’s book author and illustrator, and a motion designer. Their graduating classes range from 1969 to 2003. Here’s a look at their lives, their art, and their time at the college.

6

Tommy dePaola Born in 1934 in Meriden, CT MFA 1969, concentration in illustration CCA influence: Wolfgang Lederer Other education: BFA 1956, Illustration, Pratt Institute; graduate studies (PhD equivalency), Lone Mountain College Residence: New London, NH Current occupation: Artist, author, designer, speaker Proudest achievement: When parents, kids, and teachers say, “You’re Tomie dePaola? I love your books!”

When he was four years old, Tomie dePaola wanted to become a writer, an illustrator, and a tap dancer.

In his long and varied career, dePaola has done all of that and more. He is a prolific author of some two

hundred children’s books, including the Caldecott Honor Award–winning Strega Nona. He still works seven days a week.

Why children’s books? DePaola says the books he had as a child were the only place—besides the world of Walt Disney—where he saw artwork.

Art was not in his school curriculum, and there were no museums in Meriden. Today, he is proud that his books touch the hearts of thousands of people. It’s clear that CCA has left its own mark on dePaola’s heart. A protégé of Wolfgang Lederer, dePaola credits Lederer with giving him the freedom to express himself in a noncommercial way, and for setting up a tutorial at Tamalpais Press where dePaola set type one day a week. DePaola recalls Lederer saying, “I can’t teach you a thing about illustration, but I can teach you about type and design of books.” The two remained friends up until Lederer’s death this year. “CCA refined my work and is totally responsible for my success,” dePaola says.

Gary Hutton Born in 1950 in Watsonville, CA BFA 1975, Environmental Design CCA influence: Willis Kauffman, who taught History of Interior Design; Andy Addkison Other education: BA 1972, Fine Arts, UC Davis

where he worked on the restaurant Today’s, on Union Square. It was “the place to lunch,” Hutton recalls. After his stint at Orientations, he worked briefly in the Macy’s interior design studio.

Disliking the corporate structure, he left to open his own firm in 1980.

Residence: San Francisco, CA Current Occupation: Interior designer, furniture designer, owner of Gary Hutton Design Proudest achievement: The relationship he’s built with clients over the years

When Gary Hutton found himself working at a mall after graduating from UC Davis with a degree in fine arts, he decided it was time to go back to school.

He had always loved interiors, and CCA seemed like the natural choice. Early training came through work at the famed Scalamandré textiles showroom and an internship at Gump’s. For a while, Hutton held two part-time jobs to get by. Eventually he became a manager at the C. J. Welch showroom and then a designer for Jerry Jansen at Orientations,

Today, Hutton commands a loyal clientele of twenty years’ standing—in fact, he’s still in touch with his very first client. Ninety-five percent of his clients are residential, and most of his corporate work comes from residential client referrals.

In addition to interior design work, Hutton oversees production for his line of furniture, produced in Emeryville and San Francisco.

Nellie King Solomon Born 1971, San Francisco, CA MFA 2001, Painting and Drawing CCA influences: Kim Anno, Larry Sultan, John Zurier, Linda Geary, Mary Snowden, Steve Beal, Sam Tchakalian, Chris Brown Other education: BFA 1995, General Fine Arts, UC Santa Cruz; architecture studies, The Cooper Union Residence: San Francisco, CA Current occupation: Artist Early success: Introductions, Braunstein/ Quay Gallery, San Francisco, 2001

Nellie King Solomon says, “Art chooses you, you don’t choose art.” Initially drawn to architecture, she studied at Cooper Union, then worked in architecture in Barcelona and New York. She is now known for large paintings created with her own handmade tools on heavy mill Mylar. She started by using the lid of a gesso jar to stamp a dot; the dot was to slow her down, to represent stillness rather than the travel implicit in a line.

Following her experience in Europe and New York, and her return to California, Solomon knew she

wanted to focus on the wilderness, environment, and values of the West. Initially creating pieces made from plaster that she called “misbehaving architecture,” in which a wall would erupt and buckle, she then shifted to paint to explore these spatial disturbances. The simple gesture of the dot grew into large canvases, such as Treasure Island Westbound, which began with one dot from the head of a pin and became an 8´ x 12´ landscape in her Great West series. In her artist statement, Solomon says, “The paintings are experiences of the great western landscapes, interior and exterior terrain, the shock of unabsorbed events. California is a place where we are caught off guard, a place of gambling, chance, and change. I paint it.” To see her work, visit www.nelliekingsolomon.com.

Geoffrey Petrizzi Born 1970, Pasadena, CA BFA 2001, Industrial Design CCA influences: Jay Baldwin, Barry Katz, Tylor Garland, Mitchell Schwarzer Residence: San Francisco, CA Current occupation: Senior designer, fuseproject Early success: Group show, Body Design, Design, SFMOMA, 2002–3

Geoffrey Petrizzi enjoys the unusual distinction of seeing his senior thesis project exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Two years after graduating, Petrizzi submitted his project, Aquaticus—an underwater diving scooter—to ID Magazine. His piece won a Design Distinction award

8

in the Concepts category and caught the eye of Joe Rosa, a curator at SFMOMA, who selected it for the exhibition Body Design, on view from November 2002 through March 2003. What was Petrizzi’s original assignment? Tasked to create something that would work as both science and fashion, something conceptual yet anchored in reality, at first he wanted to create a diving suit with an embedded gill. Investigating this possibility, he found that the gill required a higher volume of water than was practical. But out of this came Aquaticus, a diving scooter with an embedded gill. The gill not only extracts oxygen from the water to feed the fuel cell power source, it also supplies oxygen to the diver, who is pulled along behind the device.

During his second to last semester, Petrizzi took a course with Yves Béhar, head of San Francisco’s fuseproject. An internship there turned into a fulltime job. At fuseproject, Petrizzi juggles multiple projects for clients such as BMW, Birkenstock, and Nike. He also designs cosmetics packaging, perfume bottles, and other consumer products.

Anthony Discenza Born 1967, New Jersey MFA 2000, Film/Video CCA influences: Barney Haynes; two other film/video students, Dave Kareken and Adrian van Allen Other education: BA 1990, Studio Art, Wesleyan University Residence: Oakland, CA Current occupation: Artist Early success: 2000 Whitney Biennial

In 1991 Anthony Discenza moved from New Jersey to California, where his friend and fellow video maker, Torsten Burns, was a student at the San Francisco Art Institute. The two formed a collaborative, the Halflifers; their works have screened in New York City at the Museum of Modern Art and the New York Video Festival; in the Bay Area at the Pacific

Film Archive; and at festivals around the world.

Already a working artist, Discenza decided to complete his art education and pursue an MFA at California College of the Arts. While still a grad student, his video work Phosphorescence was selected for the 2000 Whitney Biennial. Discenza says, “I’m interested in revealing the world of images around us as a very ‘real’ space—one which shapes our world view in all sorts of potent but invisible ways.”

When he was chosen for the Whitney Biennial, Discenza commented that it was “a great honor, but I have to take it with a grain of salt. I don’t want to build up my expectations about what it’s going to mean.” Today, he balances his artwork with part-time work as a paralegal to help pay the bills. It’s a challenge familiar to many Bay Area artists. Discenza has had solo shows in San Francisco at Hosfelt Gallery and jennjoy gallery and has participated in numerous group shows.

His work November is featured in Reprocessing Information, a group show at SFMOMA presenting video works that explore information as landscape and medium. The show runs through February 8, 2004.

Lindsay Daniels Born 1979, Richland, WA BFA 2003, Graphic Design CCA influences: Eric Heiman “He pushed my thinking and design skills to a new level” and Jim Kenney Residence: Seattle, WA

Kitchen, she was happy to accept—in part because she grew up in Seattle and has friends and family there. But, she stresses, she would never take a job just based on location. She chose Digital Kitchen because their work seemed the most exciting.

Current occupation: Motion designer, Digital Kitchen Proudest achievement: Winning a gold medal from the Art Directors Club at the 82nd Annual Awards—the only gold medal awarded to a student

As she neared graduation, Lindsay Daniels didn’t know where she would end up. She sent her portfolio to four motion design firms, researching and applying to companies whose work she admired. With a letter of recommendation from Dean of Design Michael Vanderbyl and a summer 2002 internship at Landor Associates under her belt, she visited firms in Los Angeles, New York City, and Seattle. When the job offer came from Digital

“Motion design allows you to combine elements of the senses that strike a chord with people,” Daniels says. At Digital Kitchen, her current projects include a title sequence and a project for an investment company. As she goes through the transition of learning to design for corporate clients, not just for herself, Digital Kitchen’s varied clientele keeps her work life interesting. “Learning to think in motion has been a fun challenge,” she says.

College Receives $5 Million Gift for Center for Art and Public Life In May 2003, California College of the Arts received a $5 million gift to establish an endowed fund to support the Center for Art and Public Life. The donation is the largest single gift in the college’s ninety-six-year history and was given by a longtime trustee of the college who wishes to remain anonymous.

Established in 1998, the Center for Art and Public Life creates community partnerships based on creative practice that serve the CCA community and the diverse populations of Oakland and San Francisco. Arts education partners include Oakland public schools Arts Far West and Lockwood Elementary School, and San Francisco public school Enola D. Maxwell Middle School of the Arts. For CCA students, the Center offers service learning opportunities through programs such as Artists for Community, Community Student Fellows, and the Alternative Spring Break trip.

The Center also offers arts education training and curriculum development for public school teachers.

The Center plays a pivotal role in implementing CCA’s diversity plan. In addition to its significant programs in the areas of community partnerships, fellowships, and teacher training, the Center has many initiatives planned for the 2003–4 academic

10

year, including administering the new diversity and community studies curriculum and launching a new art teacher precredential program.

Unique among art colleges in its commitment to community practice, California College of the Arts is the only art college invited to participate in The James Irvine Foundation’s Campus Diversity Initiative and to receive funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service’s Learn and Serve America program.

President Michael S. Roth commented, “This extraordinary gift not only validates the work of the Center and assures its future, but also underscores the importance of the arts in the community. One of our primary goals is to demonstrate that successful art practice can take many forms. By identifying this goal and developing the infrastructure and programs to achieve it—namely the Center for Art and Public Life—the college has undertaken a leadership role in defining the artist-as-citizen as a critical issue in contemporary studio practice.

We are extremely grateful to our donor for this generous act, which demonstrates a firm belief in this model of art education.”

Faculty Appointments There have been a number of moves and changes among the current CCA faculty and some new hires. Matthew Higgs, curator at the CCA Wattis Institute, and Lydia Matthews, chair of the MA Program in Visual Criticism, are co-chairs of the MFA Program in Fine Arts. Stephen Goldstine, who has stepped down as chair of this program, continues his great work with the graduate students in a new position as Dennis Leon Professor of Fine Arts. Ann Joslin Williams is serving as chair of the MFA Program in Writing for the 2003–4 academic year during John Laskey’s sabbatical. Mark Fox is filling in as chair of Graphic Design during Leslie Becker’s sabbatical this year.

New hires include Tina Takemoto and Matthew Jackson (who begins in the 2004–5 academic year) in the Visual Studies Program and Joseph Lease and Juvenal Acosta in the Creative Writing Program. Emily McVarish and Eric Heiman have been promoted to assistant professor in the Graphic Design Program. Dugald Stermer, chair of Illustration, and Steven Holt, chair of Industrial Design, have both been designated distinguished professors.

Gifts and Grants CCA donors were exceptionally generous over the spring and summer months, and we thank them for their thoughtful support. In addition to the incredible $5 million anonymous gift featured in this issue, California College of the Arts received the following major gifts: Trustee Ronald Wornick and his wife, Anita, made a wonderfully generous gift of $500,000 to establish the Ronald Wornick Distinguished Visiting Professor of Wood Arts. The goal of this new endowed fund is to enrich the CCA academic experience by bringing a celebrated artist to teach as a visiting professor each year. The visiting professorship will enhance the curriculum through the use of wood as a creative medium for exploration, expression, and aesthetic functionality. Artists invited through this program will have made a significant contribution to one or more of the studio fields and will see the opportunity to work and teach in wood as a vehicle for deepening and broadening their professional life. Look for a feature article on the Wornick Distinguished Visiting Professor in the next issue of Glance.

Alumna Emily Schwilke (AB 1936) made a generous provision for CCA in her estate plans. Upon her passing in May of this year, the college received $50,000 to support the academic program. We are grateful to Mrs. Schwilke and her family for remembering the school with such a thoughtful gift in support of our mission.

Two special gifts were made in memory of beloved members of the CCA community who passed away recently. Elizabeth Schaufel made a gift of $25,000 to the Gertrude Schaufel Memorial Scholarship established in memory of her mother, and Lorenz

and Thomas Menrath gave $25,000 to establish the Walter J. Menrath Scholarship in honor of their father. Both gifts create endowments that provide critical financial aid to gifted students who otherwise could not afford to attend CCA. The college received a generous grant of $46,000 from the Grants for the Arts/Hotel Tax Fund to support the presentation of our San Francisco– based public programs in 2003–4.

The Creative Work Fund awarded the CCA Center for Art and Public Life a $35,000 grant to support “Pieces of Cloth, Pieces of Culture: Tongan Tapa Cloth,” a yearlong collaboration between the Center; sociocultural anthropologist Ping-Ann Addo, the Center’s 2003–4 scholar in residence; and lead artist Siu Tuita of Oakland’s ‘Otufelenite Tongan Community Nonprofit Organization. Activities including lectures, demonstrations, and an exhibition will coincide with the creation of a 15 x 15 foot tapa cloth, the first of its kind made in the traditional island manner in the continental United States.

The LEF Foundation, a generous and longtime funder of the college, awarded $10,000 to the CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts for its exhibition Warped Space. In addition, the Jumex Collection, a new donor to the college, awarded the Wattis Institute $8,000 to assist with publication of the catalog accompanying the exhibition Baja to Vancouver: The West Coast and Contemporary Art. Finally, the college extends its thanks to Nancy S. and R. Patrick Forster, Dorothy and George Saxe, and Mr. C. David Robinson FAIA and Mary L. Robinson for their generous trustee unrestricted gifts.

New Graduate Studios Open in San Francisco

New Master of Architecture (MArch) Program

California College of the Arts has opened a new graduate center adjacent to the San Francisco campus. Located at the corner of Hooper and Eighth Streets, the spacious, well-lighted facility includes two buildings comprising 12,000 interior square feet and a 10,000-square-foot outdoor atrium. Thirty-two fine arts graduate students occupy individual studios. The new facility was created to accommodate the expansion of the CCA graduate programs.

In fall 2004 California College of the Arts will introduce the three-year first professional master’s degree in architecture (MArch). Building on the strength of our undergraduate bachelor of architecture (BArch) program, the master’s program integrates critical, artistic, and material approaches to the study and practice of architecture. The program is designed for students who hold a bachelor’s degree in another field and wish to study architecture, and gives advanced standing to students who have some previous education in architecture.

Formerly a warehouse, the graduate center was designed by the award-winning firm of Jensen and Macy Architects. Principal Mark Jensen is a former chair of the CCA Interior Architecture Program.

Frank Merritt (BArch 1999) was the project designer.

Student Callers Make Telefund a Success Staff Appointments Chris Bliss Each spring, California College of the Arts recruits Vice President for Communications a group of talented and enthusiastic students to phone our alumni and friends asking for gifts in Jennifer Minniti support of the Annual Fund. This effort provides Associate Dean of Instruction crucial funding for student scholarships, the libraries, computer labs, and materials and supplies. Kate Wees Director of Undergraduate Admissions These are the college’s core needs, and we depend on the generosity of our alumni and friends to help Janice Woo Director of Libraries maintain an excellent teaching environment.

Thanks to student callers, the telefund is one of our most effective fundraising programs. During spring break 2003, students worked evenings and weekends in Macky Hall and raised more than $20,000 for the college. Our callers are recruited from all majors, and many are first-year students who are looking for ways to connect with alumni.

These are not your typical telefund calls. Students and alumni often enjoy long conversations as alumni share their experience in professional practice and callers describe student life today.

Amanda Heikkinen, who will graduate with a BFA in sculpture in December 2003, says, “The telefund really wasn’t intimidating because you are talking to people with whom you have something in common. It was a great experience, which is why I have done it two years in a row.”

We have also received kind messages from alumni, thanking us for involving students in the effort.

Diane Oles (BFA 1984, interior architecture) writes, “I have a tremendous amount of admiration for the direction the school has taken since I graduated, so when I received a call from a student, I was more than happy to give back to the college.”

This special campaign will run each March during spring break. If you receive a call, please take a moment to talk to a student. Your support will have a meaningful impact at the school, and the conversation alone can be a very positive experience for our students. If you have questions about the CCA telefund, please contact Ashley Lomery in the Advancement Office at 510.594.3662.

Awards and Accolades Eric Heiman (BFA 1996, graphic design), an assistant professor in the Graphic Design Program, received the college’s inaugural Excellence in Teaching Award on May 9, 2003. Graduating students of the class of 2003 selected Heiman as the instructor who had had the greatest influence on their work and their artistic and creative experience at the college.

Dean of Design Michael Vanderbyl was elected national chair of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA). Vanderbyl has gained international prominence in the design field as a practitioner, educator, critic, and advocate. His firm, Vanderbyl Design, is a multidisciplinary studio with expertise in graphics, packaging, signage, interiors, showrooms, retail spaces, furniture, textiles, and fashion apparel.

Interior design student Lorie Shay won a $30,000 Senior Student Scholarship Award from the New York City–based Angelo Donghia Foundation, which provides support for two distinct fields: advancement of education in interior design, and discovery of the causes and methods of treatment for AIDS and related diseases.

Robert H. Bolman Trustee Emeritus Robert H. Bolman died on March 12, 2003. He was ninety-seven. Bolman joined the college’s Board of Trustees in 1958. He served on both the Development and Audit and Finance Committees, and was board chair from 1965 to 1968.

In 1970, on his retirement from the Board, he was elected trustee emeritus, an honorary title bestowed on only a handful of trustees.

His survivors include his wife, Edith, and daughters Gay Stern and Sylvia Bolman Fones.

Carl Jennings Carl Jennings died on May 13, 2003, at the age of ninety-three. A third-generation metal craftsperson, he had worked in iron for more than seventy years. After graduating from the college in 1934, he worked in a number of shops before opening El Diablo Forge in Lafayette. In 1969 he moved his studio to Sonoma. Perhaps his finest masterpiece is his Sonoma home, which he and his late wife, Elizabeth, designed and constructed, crafting every detail down to the nails and screws. During his long and distinguished career, Jennings was the recipient of numerous honors and awards, including induction into the College of Fellows by the American Crafts Council in 1988. A retrospective exhibition of his work was held at the National Ornamental Metal Museum in Memphis in 1990.

Wolfgang Lederer Renowned designer, illustrator, and educator Wolfgang Lederer died on May 13, 2003. He was ninety-one. As a design practitioner and teacher for more than sixty years, Lederer defined and shaped design practice in the Bay Area and on the West Coast. He was appointed director of the CCA School of Design in 1950. After his retirement in 1980, he was designated professor emeritus.

He was active professionally almost to the end, with a retrospective exhibition in 2000 at the San Francisco Center for the Book and a prize for excellence in typography from the California Book Club in 2001. Lederer is survived by his wife of

Little Smothering for Gertrude Someone dies who you liked a great deal but didn’t know well: a little smothering where the almost transparent flame vanishes, is swallowed by a pocket of smoke, forming into a pocket of smoke—its gray flame bent down inside—no longer sensing the smallest needs, not now capable of being the perfect plume from nowhere, the quiet radiance for one second more—having slipped as the black seal down ... down for a minute, many minutes, more minutes than one cares to count.

Retired faculty member Dean Snyder died on March 6, 2003, at the age of seventy-five. He graduated from the college in 1964 with a BFA in industrial design and began teaching here the following spring. Snyder taught for twenty-seven years, retiring as a full professor in 1991. He was program head from 1982 to 1986 and served in various advising capacities as well as on the Academic Council.
